Quite honestly, I hope it will keep those colors. But I don't think for a minute that's gonna happen! :cry:

To my great surprise, I took a picture of this aircraft without notice. I will resize it and mail it to the forum in a few days.
By the way, would you be kind enough to identify this aircraft?
I assume that it is the former French one.

Yes Ray's Bearcat is finally on the move, there has been some paper work problems, and today we where told the ship is 4 days late. The Bear is to go out on sunday and hopefully get it back to Chino around the middle of June. The Bearcat will remain in the French markings for this year, and a new paint scheme may be applied after the show season, when the Bear goes back to Chino. Sorry to say that the Bear will not be at MAAM, we where looking forward to this, but there is next year. I will be making some new patches, decals and new t-shirts of the Bearcat soon, and a new web site as well.
